Notes:
ALL Reference Letter / COE: Ako lang gumawa, through research / existing JD / EA Guidelines, etc. I just asked them to sign it for me. Nakakakaba tong part na to guys. Haha. Kailangan ng konting reasoning. Baka makatulong yung mga ginawa ko. Hehe
Company 1: Ayaw pirmahan ng HR, pumunta ko sa General Manager, sinama ko pa tatay ko (dating Area Manager ng company) para chumika for me at maging smooth ang pag-sign. It pushed through! Haha. Even brought pasalubongs and treats sa acctg, HR and others para light yung mood ng pagpunta after years of separation sa company. Hehe.
Company 2: HR. Medyo madali to. Sabi ko lang need ko sa pag file ng loan, ang ipinagpaalam ko lang is dapat merong mag reflect na Salary. Pero since, tinatamad sila gumawa ng new format, ako yung pinagawa nila. I have the company letter head naman, since same lang ang ginagamit sa mga official letter na ginagamit pang communicate sa GenCon, so G na. Hehe. In-insert ko lahat ng requirement ni EA and have them sign. They signed it electronically. No questions asked. Achieved!
Company 3: Current employment. It’s quite a challenge. Hehe. Chinese employer na ayaw malamangan. HAHA IYKWIM. So, iba atake ko this time. Sabi ko mag mamaster’s ako ng structural sa isang school. Para makatulong ako sa company eme eme. So, gumawa lang rin ako EA format. Have them sign, medyo ayaw ayaw pa. Kasi nga naman, unfamiliar and detailed talaga requirement ni EA and it’s very unusual sa common COE. After a few attempts. I got it. Haaay.
The things we do for our dreams! I believe gathering documents is tougher than preparing CDRs. Sa totoo lang! Pero after these, nakahinga na at sabak naman sa technical writing.
Thank you for this forum. Just got my Positive Assessment. I felt the need to share these with you, para makatulong rin sa iba na kailangan ng feed ng info. More power sa ating lahat. Graduate na me sa EA!
(PROACTIVE) TIPS THAT MIGHT HELP
- Secure all scholastic / employment docs proactively.
- Since I’ve been eyeing AU college pa lang yata ako, before I even graduate,di ako lumabas ng university nang di ko nasesecure ko mga docs ko, or plan how and when to get yung mga docs na di agad narerelease. Like diploma, etc.
- AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, umalis sa company in good faith, lalo na sa HR and managers. Hehe. And i-secure and BIR 2316 (every year) - nirerequest ko talaga ito annually. This is our right to have these docs, because let’s admit di naman nila kusang iissue yang mga docs.
- Mag invest rin sa mga workmates esp sa HR. Haha, sa kanila basically nakasalalay ang points natin. Hehe.
- Pag may chance, introhan niyo na if ever magpa sign kayo ng ganung format, papayag ba sila? Pag medyo sintunado sagot, isip agad ng paraan kung paano. Use psychology. Hehe.
- Another thing, 2 out 3 companies na mentioned above. Walang issue na official payslip. Since ang payslip ay wala namang authorized signature. Ako gumagawa neto EVERY TIME. Sa kapirasong papel lang kasi binibigay yung amin. Tapos minsan cash like sa Company 3. So walang makukuhang bank statement. Nilagyan ko lang ng company logo then breakdown ng salary (earnings/deductions). Payslip na siya.Sa Excel ko siya ginagawa, tapos ipprint ko, then pipirmahan ko then scan. Para mukhang legit. Tiyaga tiyaga lang sa pag DIY guys. I supported these with cash voucher (receipt like) na binibigay sa min tuwing narereceive salary. So, DIY Payslip + Cash Vouchers; scanned together = Proof of Payment na siya.
- Always check your contributions (SSS, Philhealth, HDMF) sa mga online portals. Monitor niyo kung nahuhulugan talaga. THIS IS A VERY STRONG EMPLOYMENT EVIDENCE. Since it’s government generated. Kaya EA trusts this docs.
- Pray!
Maraming salamat po sa mga insights niyo. Graduate na sa EA. <3
Damn I remember nung college din ako planado ko na mag AU, kinontrata ko na friends ko na yung projects namen ang gagawin kong basis sa 3 career episodes ko HAHA. June graduation ko pero April pa lang sinisimulan ko na CDR lol. Congrats sa assessment!
